A federal judge has ruled that a man charged in the prison killing of notorious Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger will remain behind bars while he awaits trial.
James “Whitey” Bulger will remain behind bars while he awaits trial, a federal judge ruled Monday.
Two other men charged in Bulger's killing — Fotios “Freddy” Geas, 55, and Paul J. DeCologero, 48 — were already locked up. Authorities say Geas and DeCologero struck Bulger in the head multiple times while McKinnon acted as a lookout. McKinnon is charged separately with making false statements to a federal agent. Prosecutors say he told federal agents he wasn’t aware of what happened to Bulger.U.S. Magistrate Judge Philip Lammens in Florida granted prosecutors' request to keep McKinnon detained until trial, calling him both a flight risk and a danger to the community.
McKinnon, who was Geas' cellmate at Hazelton, pleaded guilty in 2015 to stealing a dozen handguns from a Vermont firearms dealer. He was moved to a halfway house in February before being released from there in July.
